Kaptur Criticizes New Ohio Map as GOP Gains Congressional Edge
The map shifts Ohio's U.S. House delegation from 10-5 to 12-3 in favor of Republicans, approved unanimously to prevent a referendum and reflect political geography.
- On Oct. 31, the Ohio Redistricting Commission unanimously approved a new congressional map increasing Republican advantage to 12 of 15 districts, with Jim Jordan’s 4th district showing a 72% GOP edge.

- A legal challenge may reach the Ohio Supreme Court, which has six Republican justices and one Democratic justice, amid public claims the process was rigged as Ohio joins Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina this year.
